Latency-Tolerant Cloud-Edge Collaborative Vision-Language-Action Models via Emergent Representational Specialization

arXiv:2608.00569v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying billion-parameter Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies on mobile robots creates a systems conflict: semantic reasoning benefits from cloud GPUs, whereas closed-loop control must respond locally despite network delay and jitter. Existing hie
